Steven Naifeh’s first solo show in New York City was on view at Leila Heller Gallery in Chelsea at 568 West 25th Street from March 27 – April 30, 2014. The exhibition included paintings, wall sculptures, and floor sculptures that blended patterns and colors of traditional Islamic art with the shapes and minimalism of the Geometric Abstraction movement. In addition to these works, LED light sculptures from Naifeh’s Uzbek series were featured in the Gallery’s 11th Avenue windows. A fully illustrated catalogue, with an essay by curator and Islamic Art specialist Heather Ecker, accompanied the exhibition.
